In pop music, very few things are as famous as Michael Jackson’s red leather jacket. You do not need to see his face to know who it belongs to. Those bright red panels, the silver on the shoulders, the zippers from every angle.

That jacket carried “Beat It” across the world in 1983. It turned a music video into a short film, brought rock guitars to pop radio, and filled TV screens with dancers who moved as one.

Now that same jacket has a new life in the form of the Michael Jackson “Beat It” Funko Pop! figure. The tiny vinyl version keeps all the key details. The bold red, the chain mail style shoulders, the cropped black pants, the white socks and black loafers, and a mid move pose that feels ready to snap into a dance break.

Michael Jackson ” Beat It ” Funko Pop ” THE HISTORY “

In the original “Beat It” short film, you can see every zipper catch the light, hear the jacket in the song’s intro, and watch how Michael uses it as part of the story. The 4K restoration makes small details clear, like the “Piano” shirt under the jacket and the faces in the rival gangs around him.

Here you can see Michael Jackson and choreographer Michael Peters drilling those famous steps, director Bob Giraldi shaping each scene, and real street gangs sharing the floor with pro dancers. For anyone who owns or wants Funko Pop #491, this is the missing chapter that completes the picture.
